Ascent Trip ReportMy first real SoCal hike and it was everything I hoped for. As I had never hiked in the area before, my research led me to hikingguy.com. He has a great page about doing San Jacinto. Very detailed so there were no surprises and I never got lost. I picked up a free permit at the Idyllwild ranger station. I parked at the Deer Spring Trailhead. I did not have a parking pass, but I didn't see any signs that I needed one and didn't have a ticket when I got back. It was a cool day and the summit was colder, of course, but not too bad or too windy. I saw two people on the way up. I had the summit alone for about 5 minutes before I was joined by a guy who had hiked up from the Palm Springs side, but was taking the tram down. Many people coming up from the tram as I was heading down. Just a beautiful day all around.
Start: 6:30am
